The Foundry is a company whose roots go back more than 35 years. Throughout its history, the Foundry name has stood for quality craftsmanship, integrity, and customer service. The Tapco Group, the parent company of The Foundry, is a leader in the building products industry producing quality exterior accents used throughout the world. The Foundry vinyl cedar siding (staggered, shingles, shakes, shapes) is used by leading architects and builders on homes, light commercial, multi-family and business offices to break up very wide or tall spans into smaller, more interesting areas. It is also used to unify dissimilar elements, (such as original and added-on areas), to change the visual scale of a building, or to improve how it looks and blends with the topography of its site.
